Beautyfull

The kids with some of the cast and Chaeli members.

Last month we had the wonderful privilege to see "Beautyfull" at the Baxter. It dealt with the topic of women and disability, and sought to challenge preconceived ideas and stereotypes while elegantly reminding the audience that disabled people are still abled.

The wheelchair dancing, dancing by a young blind boy, and the dancing done by a young deaf man had me in tears. It was an incredibly moving show and reminded me that we are to be truly grateful for our bodies that work well.
